mtjoeng Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 I want to enhance my MPC Combo like the good old days and saw the B3D_737.hvar file. FSUIPC 7.2.16 enables the basic SPD HDG ALT perfectly. Tested with B747 default, button dropdown with new profile shows long list of Preset:B747 8 and assigned MFD Range INC/DEC to MPC Combo, and this works. Then again in the drop down I do not see Preset:B737 *whatever, and I can't comprehend the 'copy and rename' stuff about adding HVAR's to FSUIPC. What do I do to get the 737Max HVARs in the FSUIPC dropdown list? (And there's a lot more entries for 747 than in the B747-8.hvar file, how does that work?) thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtjoeng Posted February 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Copied B3D_737.hvar to c:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\fsuipc-lvar-module\work and renamed 737.hvar FSUIPC_WASM.log says: .. Tue Feb 22 01:10:20 2022 [INFO]: 34 hvars loaded for aircraft 'Boeing 737' Tue Feb 22 01:10:20 2022 [INFO]: 297 LVARS found, created 3 Client Data Areas Tue Feb 22 01:10:20 2022 [INFO]: 297 lvars loaded for aircraft 'Boeing 737' .. Now what? Assign f.i. H:AS01B_MFD_1_Range_DEC H:AS01B_MFD_1_Range_INC to a macro or in ipc.activateHvar script? Why can't they show in the dropdown?

mtjoeng Posted February 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 EDIT: 'solved' created a macrp file and these show up in the drop down P.S. Could you give an example (above MFD_1 hvar's) of the exact syntax of the lua file with ipc.activateHvar ? Couldnt get that to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Please be aware of the difference between a preset and a hvar. Hvars DO NOT show in the drop down menu - you need to define a macro to set/activate the hvar, as you have found. An easier way to use hvars is to define your own preset to activate the hvar. To do this, you would create a file called myevents.txt and add lines of the form: presetName#(>H:hvarName) where presetName is the name of the preset (and will appear in the drop-down menus) and hvarName is the name of the hvar. Using this method, you also don't need to make the hvars known to FSUIPC via the *.hvar files. 7 hours ago, mtjoeng said: Could you give an example (above MFD_1 hvar's) of the exact syntax of the lua file with ipc.activateHvar ? Couldnt get that to work it is just, for example: ipc.activateHvar(“H:AS01B_MFD_1_Range_DEC”) John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
